Abstract
AimTo evaluate the usefulness of automatic surgical retractor in obstetric and gynecological interventions. Material and methodsOpen, prospective, longitudinal, exploratory study to evaluate the retractor in surgical interventions. Sample100 patients: 45 patients with previous cesarean sections, 49 patients classified as obese, 36 who were overweight, and 10 with normal weight. Surgical interventions: 82 abdominal, 18 vaginal. Participating physicians14 obstetric and gynecological surgeons, and 86 residents in gynecology and obstetric. Statistical analysisWas used the SPSS program. ResultsArticulation, disarticulation, collocation and retraction of the retractor was satisfactory in 98 interventions. There was one case of instability, and another of insufficient width. Vaginal interventions required only one operator. The instrument reduced the duration of surgery, blood loss, and the use of anesthetics and other material. ConclusionThe Soriano surgical retractor was useful in 98% of the patients and improved the quality and time of the surgical interventions.
